Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Lekan Balogun has taken Rashidi Ladoja to the cleaners for saying he is plotting to dethrone him as Otun Olubadan.

A statement by the Personal Assistant on Media to Olubadan, Oladele Ogunsola said:

“The Olubadan Advisory Council met on Thursday and deliberated on Ladoja’s matter.”

“At the emergency meeting of the Olubadan Advisory Council presided over by the Olubadan and eight of the newly-crowned Ibadan Obas, they chided Ladoja over his claims.”

“Nobody becomes Olubadan without the nomination by the Ibadan kingmakers consisting of members of the Advisory Council from Ekerin upward.”

“Assuming God decrees him to become Olubadan, as he hopes and desires, where will the present Olubadan, being alleged to be plotting against, him be?”

“Rather than looking for a scapegoat, he should check himself as there’s no way just one person can stand against 10 others. We shall meet in court as he has already initiated.”
